The Billionaire's Obsession Chapter 41
~Atlas~I hadn't been home in two days, so I was certainly not in the mood to play nice.That meant I had no patience left to sidestep around the man sitting before me.We were in a secluded part of a restaurant I had selected. The light was turned away from me and slightly towards my partner.So I could see his face clearly while mine was mostly in the shadows. And from what I had noticed, Felix Kale was most likely not the brains behind the business.He was short, shorter than Eliza, who was a grand total of five feet, five inches. He also had a bald patch in the middle of his head that shone under the light.As if that was not enough, his glasses were thicker than any I had ever seen. And he kept pushing the darned thing up his nose every five seconds.Right now, he was sitting ramrod straight in his chair, blinking way too often than should be necessary for any human. His tie knot was pushed so high that I wondered if he wasn't at risk of choking.But he looked inc

~Eliza~For the life of me, I could never have imagined Peter doing what Aria said.Peter was the kindly old man that made me feel at ease only a few days ago. He wasn’t some philanderer who would do something as evil as what Daniel did to me.Right?I stared at Aria like she had grown a second head while I tried to process my thoughts. If she was saying the truth, then I had just discovered the other reason Atlas might have helped me.My life was more or less a replay of what happened with his mother. So was this his way of making amends? Or something else entirely? Like the inheritance.As if from a distance, I heard Aria say, “I shouldn’t have said that.”Blinking slowly, I refocused on her face, which was pulled down in a regretful frown.“It’s alright. I’m sure—”“No, it’s not fine at all,” Aria interrupted impatiently.I cocked my head slightly, surprised by the slight hint of hysteria in her voice.Wait. Was there something else she wasn’t saying? I wondered. Why should her sta

~Eliza~My heart thrashed in my chest like a trapped butterfly.At the same time, my stomach was twisted in a mix of fear, anxiety, and anticipation. I mean, sure, I was happy about the private investigator’s news.But at the same time, the moment I saw the text that he might have found my grandmother, my stomach seemed to drop to my feet.I wanted to run as far away as I could, but I also desperately wanted to meet my grandmother. And it was not just because of the shares.If there was one thing my father had been thorough about, it was to clear out any way to reach my mother’s side of the family. He had been sure to leave no stone unturned in keeping me away from them.When I was young, I accepted his explanation that they just didn’t want any contact with me. And now that I am older. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was right.Why had no one tried to find me? Not even after my mother died.It seemed like as soon as they had no real link to me, they just dropped me like hot cake. An

~Atlas~Sitting in the dark inside my office, I felt completely drained and sick to my stomach.Being the head of a multi-billion dollar empire involved countless meetings. But there were some times when it meant I had to do things that were disagreeable to my basest instincts.That would be torturing a young man for the knowledge he was too terrified to divulge.Cole had been nearly out of his mind with fear only a few minutes earlier and he had quickly revealed everything I needed to know.And now that I did, I felt deeply disgusted by what I discovered. Some people really went lower than hell just to get something that doesn’t even belong to them in the first place.I flipped my phone in my hand, lost in thought as I planned how best to handle the situation. Going headlong into threats would be disastrous for Cole and his sister.But at the same time, letting that horrible pig go scot-free went against everything inside me.I had to do something, fast, before it got too late.Then

~Atlas~“And where were you when this was happening?”The slender young man standing before me ducked his head and shuffled in a spot. But I didn’t step away from him.“Answer me, Cole,” I pushed, careful to keep my voice soft and unhurried.After getting Jane’s call earlier today, I had rushed down to the office. I shoved my issues with Eliza to the back of my mind…for now.Fortunately for me, the investigators looking into the leak at my office found something: a trail to the attacker’s entry point.The person had gotten access through Cole’s work laptop. Now, we were trying to figure out how and why that happened.I cocked my head and bit back a sigh as I stared at the pale man who kept nervously pushing his thick glasses back up his nose.“I-I d-don’t know,” he stammered breathlessly, still keeping his gaze on the floor.I nearly laughed at that weak excuse. He knew, I knew, everyone currently standing in the room knew he was guilty as sin. We just needed to know the main details.

~Eliza~Luca froze mid-reach into his pants’ pocket and stared at me like I had lost my mind.An irrational giggle rose in my throat as I slowly drew back the hand I had instinctively shot out. At that moment, it struck me just how funny the situation was.Surprisingly, he hadn’t seemed freaked out by my intense reaction to what probably looked like nothing.But right now, he was wide-eyed, gaping at me as if he was one more word away from running out of the office and away from me.A snort escaped me at the image of Luca screaming as he raced out of here. I clamped a hand over my mouth and gave him an innocent smile. At least, I hoped it would pass off as innocent.“What I meant was that there’s no need to bother Atlas,” I said smoothly and made my lips stretch into a wider smile.“He’s probably busy and all that, so don’t,” I added and paused to slash my hand in the air between us. “Do not call him.”Luca’s head started to bob up and down before he caught himself and narrowed his ey

~Atlas~After six long years, she was finally back in my life. Eliza Monroe.I was close enough to touch her, but now, she was unconscious on a hospital bed. And my nephew put her there.My hands curled into fists at my sides and I hated the feeling of helplessness curling through me.“What the hel

~Eliza~“I didn't realize you found the idea of marrying me so distasteful, Eliza,” Atlas bit out, his gaze sharpening on me.“Well, for one, you are Daniel’s uncle,” I stated, widening my eyes at him incredulously. “What—”“Step uncle.”“will everyone think?” I finished determinedly.“Why do you c

~Eliza~Tingles spread from my head to my toes.I kept my eyes closed for a moment longer, trying to keep reality from rushing back in, but it was useless. Slowly, I opened my eyes.The ceiling above me was high and cream-coloured, with a pale light fixture at its centre. I turned my head and notic

~Eliza~“B-baby, what are you doing here?” Daniel asked breathlessly as he scrambled to pull up his trousers.The smile died on my trembling lips as I watched my sister slowly pull down her skintight skirt. She smirked at me.I had just entered Daniel’s office to share the most wonderful news, only
